"Mandy, one of the managers at the Independence location was very helpful. She went out of her way to make sure everything was right. Each time I showed up she was cheerful, always with a smile and a wave. She tried to help in any way she could. I have stored with Uncle Bobs before and have always been pleased with my stay."

"I am moving from 2 Public Storage units to
the Wallace Lane facility because it is much nicer, cleaner, safer. I hate having
to drive on Independence Blvd, but this
facility is far and above the other 2 places I've been storing my things.
Thank you for such a nice place."

"With the exception that on one visit to the Gatewood Drive storage unit , at the beginning of March 2016, the gate was out of order, but once I walked over to the office the associate manually lifted the security gate. Overall service at both Uncle Bob's self storage has been "great'>"

"I really like your services, but I have to admit that you are too expensive. Two years in a row, you have raised the cost by a total of almost 25%.
That is too much and I am planning on canceling my storage soon because of this.
Again, your service is great, but you have raised the prices too much. "

"The only problem for us is that when we park in the back ready to unload we have to figure out where the carts are in the building because there aren't any at the back door. I understand someone may be using them but its only 2 and it's kind of an inconvenience."
